De Voluntades Ecuménicas a Un Perpetuo Aggiornamento ○ ○ ○ ○○○○ De voluntades ecuménicas a un perpetuo aggiornamento 553 ○○○○○○○○○○○ ○ ○ ○ ○○○○ FABIÁN SANABRIA S.* RESUMEN l presente artículo problematiza, siguiendo diversos textos de E Michel de Certeau, lo que ha quedado del aggiornamento del Vaticano II, tras constatar que los lugares organizadores del sentido eclesial se movilizan hacia no-lugares, en donde el creer se escapa y circula, y lo sagrado se acentúa y se pierde. Así, se debate en torno a la noción de reforma eclesiástica apuntando a la única vía posible de institucionalización de lo religioso hoy: la debilidad de creer. Palabras clave: Vaticano II, ecumenismo, modernidad religiosa, debilidad de creer, aggiornamento, circulación de creencias, des-regulación religiosa. Abstract The present article, following different texts of Michel de Certau, reflects on what has remained of the aggiornamento of the Second Vatican Council, after ascertaining that the loci that organize ecclesial sense move towards non-loci, where believing flees and circulates, and the sacred is emphasized and lost. Thus, a debate is carried around the notion of * Antropólogo y doctor en sociología de la Escuela de Altos Estudios en Ciencias Sociales de París.

Key words: Second Vatican Council, ecumenism, religious modernity, weakness of believing, aggiornamento, circulation of beliefs. 554 Vers Dieu je ne puis aller nu Mais je dois être dévêtu (A. Silesius, L’Errant chérubinique, I, 297)1 Il s’agit d’accepter d’être faible, d’abandonner les masques dérisoires et hypocrites d’une puissance ecclésiale qui n’est plus; de renoncer à la satisfaction et à “la tentation de faire du bien”. Le problème n’est pas de savoir s’il sera possible de restaurer l’entreprise “Eglise”, selon les règles de restauration et d’assainissement de toutes les entreprises. La seule question qui vaille est celle-ci: se trouvera-t-il des chrétiens pour vouloir rechercher ces ouvertures priantes, errantes, admiratrices? (M. de Certeau, La faiblesse de croire, Paris, Seuil, 1987, p. 313).2 VIGENCIA DEL SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM Indudablemente el esfuerzo modernizador de apertura al mundo y a las diversas culturas promovido por el papa Juan XXIII al inaugurar el Concilio Vaticano II, el 11 de octubre de 1962, el cual continuaría en su cause más ecuménico gracias al aval del papa Pablo VI meses después, ha sido caracterizado como uno de los acontecimientos más importantes del siglo XX. En efecto, el Vaticano II fue convocado en un mundo dividido, dominado por la guerra fría, la descolonización y la crisis generalizada por la pérdida de confianza en los valores de Occidente. Pese al sector minoritario, liderado por los cardenales Alfredo Ottaviani, Ernesto Ruffini y el arzobispo Lefevre, 1. “Hacia Dios no puedo ir desnudo, pero debo estar desvestido.” (Angelus Silesius, El errante querubínico, I, 297. La traducción es nuestra) 2. “Se trata de aceptar el ser débil, de abandonar las máscaras orgullosas e hipócritas de un poder eclesial que ya no se tiene; de renunciar a la satisfacción y a “la tentación de hacer el bien”. El problema no consiste en saber si será posible restaurar la empresa “Iglesia” según las reglas de restauración y de depuración de todas las empresas. La única cuestión que vale es ésta: ¿habrá cristianos para querer buscar esas aperturas devotas, errantes, admirables?” (MICHEL DE CERTEAU, La debilidad de creer. La traducción es nuestra). DE VOLUNTADES ECUMÉNICAS A UN PERPETUO AGGIORNAMENTO quienes se opusieron radicalmente a las reformas conciliares, éstas se promulgaron y alcanzaron un impulso renovador no sólo entre los círculos católicos, sino en diferentes ámbitos de las sociedades contemporáneas. El desafío lanzado por el cardenal Gian Batista Montini al preguntarle a la Iglesia qué podía decir de sí misma, al igual que la cauta preocupación por los factores unificadores dejando a un lado los elementos de división en la Iglesia, lograron imponer en la historia de la tradición judeo-cristiana nuevas 555 categorías prácticas, tales como colegialidad, el diálogo interconfesional, la libertad religiosa, el ecumenismo, la presencia viva en el mundo, la palabra actuante en medio de los “signos de los tiempos”, y el pueblo de Dios, entre otras. Cuatro décadas después de tan singular acontecimiento, estudiosos y creyentes de variadas latitudes nos preguntamos: ¿Qué ha quedado de semejante aggiornamento? Muchos autores coinciden en subrayar la vigencia del Concilio, argumentando que no ha fracasado ni ha sido superado, ya que con él se conquistó un paisaje renovado en materia de liturgia, libertad religiosa y ecumenismo, entendido este último sociológicamente como apertura, no sólo ante los “hermanos separados” y las demás confesiones religiosas, sino ante las trasformaciones del mundo moderno buscando sinceramente “hacer las paces con éste”. Para otros, en cambio, ha habido demasiada influencia de grupos con peso político en la Iglesia, que han pretendido frenar al máximo su desarrollo, ya que poner en práctica el sentido de las reformas no ha sido tarea fácil, como tampoco es “dejarse compenetrar plenamente de su es- píritu”. Ahora bien, en cuanto al núcleo del presente trabajo, quisiera retomar la pregunta por el ecumenismo –en sentido amplio– en los siguientes términos: ¿Cómo se puede caracterizar, desde afuera, ese intento –si se me permite hoy usar el término– de perestroika? Si se quiere una interpretación crítica de lo que ha sido el esfuerzo ecuménico del catolicismo en los últimos cuarenta años, la observación enunciada por el filósofo lituano Emmanuel Lévinas en su célebre libro Totalidad e infinito (1961) no sólo es aplicable al campo de la filosofía, sino que resulta bastante útil para contextualizar, de otro modo, a la Iglesia misma en relación con su “voluntad de apertura al mundo moderno”. En un primer momento, a la modernidad se la ha satanizado (identificándola con el “enemigo”: caso concreto del Sylabus Errorum de Pío IX); en un segundo momento, se la ha asimilado tratando de conquistarla y, por qué no, buscando FABIÁN SANABRIA S. colonizarla (a manera de propiedad privada: sentando cátedra sobre la “verdadera modernidad”: caso específico de los papas León XIII y Pío XII); y, en un tercer momento, bastante cercano a nosotros, se ha tratado de emplear una cierta negociación simbólica no ajena al utilitarismo con todo cuanto pueda llamarse moderno (ha habido relación con el mundo moderno en la medida en que éste ha prestado algún servicio a la “justa causa del Reino” 556 variantes políticas post-Vaticano II) (Poulat, 1976). La explicitación de esos momentos, que pueden ser simultáneos, resulta bastante desconcertante para contextualizar el espíritu del Vaticano II, que justamente busca priorizar y valorar al máximo los elementos de unión, dejando de lado los de separación. Al mirar hoy, grosso modo, tantos intentos ecuménicos con distancia, es como si las reformas modernizadoras de la Iglesia y los variados itinerarios mo- dernizantes de sus pastores estuvieran marcados por un acento nostálgico, específicamente ante una voluntad ordenadora que pareciera no querer renunciar, por ningún motivo, a su soberanía. Y, más allá de todo espíritu conciliador, ante esa actitud política específica, surge una pregunta: ¿Acaso re-formar eclesiásticamente ha sido posible? ¿Es que antes se re-formaba? La pregunta por el término re-forma es central en la comprensión del Concilio Vaticano II aunque, en el mundo actual, en el que supuestamente los decretos conciliares han producido sus efectos, parezca inapropiado formular semejante inquietud. ¿AÚN, TIENE CRÉDITO “RE-FORMAR”? En el compendio de artículos de Michel de Certeau que Luce Giard publicó bajo el título de La debilidad de creer, el extraordinario jesuita que preco- nizara el “estallido” del cristianismo en 1974 recuerda en varios momentos cómo el desmoronamiento interno de la Iglesia se traduce por una “sobreproducción eclesiológica”: “el objeto producido por el discurso toma lentamente el relevo del cuerpo productor. Pero éste tiene la forma de lo que va a faltar. En seguida, una representación “pluralista” se sustituye a una representación unitaria” (De Certeau, 1987, nota 4, p. 27). Es decir, no se trata más de una realidad eclesial incierta que sería necesario actualizar a partir de textos, sino de la fabricación de una representación por medio del discurso. Dicho de otra manera, para impedir que el discurso religioso enfrentando la “inevitable modernidad” se expandiera a través de múltiples DE VOLUNTADES ECUMÉNICAS A UN PERPETUO AGGIORNAMENTO canales incontrolables, y deslizara en “cualquier cosa”, la jerarquía ha tratado de frenarlo decretando, pues toda institución que no lo hiciera sería suicida; el problema radica en que esos gestos y medidas restrictivas –según De Certeau– llegaron demasiado tarde y, en el momento “no funcionan más”, pues no pueden cambiar el curso de las prácticas. En realidad, “la ambición que ordena esos “golpes de freno” es en general más modesta: ella sólo busca preservar un lenguaje. Los responsables son demasiado prudentes 557 para querer otra cosa que el mantenimiento de los principios en los enunciados,

  • Why the New Rite of Episcopal Consecration Is Valid Fr
    ANGELUSTHE MAGAZINE REPRINT WHY THE NEW RITE OF EPISCOPAL CONSECRATION IS VALID Fr. Pierre-Marie, O.P. This article wishes to settle a debate that has been circulating in traditional Catholic circles. Some writers have examined the new rite of episcopal consecration and concluded that it must be invalid. Since this would cause manifest prob- lems if it were true and due to the heightened awareness of such a theory, The Angelus presents (for the first time in English) a study of this question concluding that it is valid. 2 This article was translated exclusively by Angelus Press from Sel de la Terre (No.54., Autumn 2005, pp.72-129). Fr. Pierre-Marie, O.P., is a member of the traditional Dominican monastery at Avrillé, France, several of whose members were ordained by Archbishop Lefebvre and which continues to receive its priestly ordinations from the bishops serving the Society of Saint Pius X which Archbishop Lefebvre founded. He is a regular contributor to their quarterly review, Sel de la Terre (Salt of the Earth). The English translations contained in the various tables were prepared with the assistance of H.E. Bishop Richard Williamson, Dr. Andrew Senior (professor at St. Mary’s College, St. Mary’s, Kansas), and Fr. Scott Gardner, SSPX. ollowing the Council, in 1968 a new rite for Orders or is merely “a sacramental,” an ecclesiastical the ordination of bishops was promulgated. ceremony wherein the powers of the episcopate, It was, in fact, the first sacrament to undergo its “bound” in the simple priest, are “freed” for the “aggiornamento,” or updating.

  • Paul Vi's Ambivalence Toward Critical Biblical Scholarship
    ORGAN OF THE ROMAN THEOLOGICAL FORUM NO. 157 March 2012 PAUL VI’S AMBIVALENCE TOWARD CRITICAL BIBLICAL SCHOLARSHIP B. INDICATIONS OF APPROVAL: ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS by Brian W. Harrison Having surveyed in Living Tradition, no. 156, what might be called the ‘theoretical’ side of Pope Paul VI’s basic attitude of openness and confidence toward contemporary trends in Catholic biblical scholarship – that is, his writings and speeches expressing that attitude – we will turn now to consider the ‘practical’ side of the same coin. Here we will be looking at the Pope’s exercise of his governing authority rather than his teaching authority. His concrete decisions regarding the ‘hiring and firing’ of certain clerics who would occupy key ecclesiastical positions relating to biblical studies were to have significant ramifications that were perhaps to some extent unexpected by Paul himself. 1. 1960-1962: Tensions within the Vatican over Biblical Studies Probably the most important of these administrative decisions was one taken within the first year of Pope Paul’s pontificate. As a result of controversies over biblical studies in the last years of John XXIII’s pontificate, two prominent Scripture scholars, Maximilian Zerwick, S.J., and Stanislas Lyonnet, S.J., had in 1961 been suspended from teaching at the Pontifical Biblical Institute on account of their exegetical opinions, some of which, in the estimation of the Holy Office, were not in accord with the Church’s Magisterium. However, within one year of the election of Pope Paul VI, both of these professors were re-appointed to teach at the ‘Biblicum’ with the express approval of the new Pontiff.

  • „Principele Scortesco”. Cine Era? (Cu O Incursiune În Peisajul Catolic Tradiţionalist Din Apus)
    1 Un român exilat misterios: „Principele Scortesco”. Cine era? (cu o incursiune în peisajul catolic tradiţionalist din Apus) P. dr. Remus Mircea Birtz, OBSS Summary This study presents some data about the Romanian Traditional Catholic writers, the painter Paul Scorţescu / Scortesco / Scortzesco (1893, Yassy – 1976, Paris), his brother the diplomatic minister Theodor Scorţescu / Scortzesco (1895, Yassy – 1979, Buenos-Aires), known in the Romanian literature, and Miss Myra Davidoglou (1923, Bucharest – 2001, France) a graphic artist too. Some historical and genealogical data about the Scortzesco Moldavian-Romanian noble family are given, and a short landscape of the Traditional Catholic Resistance. It is proven that the well-known statement of Paul Scortzesco about the 1963 Conclave cannot be true, however without denying the election of Cardinal Giuseppe Siri as Pope (Gregory XVII) in the 1958 Conclave. Some biographical data about the Scortzescos can and must be certainly corrected, when new informations from the yet unknown Romanian Exile Culture will be available. Key words: Paul Scorţescu / Scortesco / Scortzesco (1893-1976), Theodor Scorţescu / Scortzesco (1895-1979), Myra Davidoglou (1923-2001), Cardinal Giuseppe Siri (Gregory XVII), Roman Catholic Resistance, Sedevacantism, Romanian Exile.

  • The Sacredness of Reinforced Concrete Between Structural and Formal Links
    Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XIV 531 The sacredness of reinforced concrete between structural and formal links S. Bertorotta & F. Scibilia Department of Architecture, Palermo University, Italy Abstract This paper examines the design of some religious buildings built of reinforced concrete during the post-war period in the city of Palermo. After an introduction to Italy’s architectural panorama, in which the principal trends in religious architecture during the period considered are set forth, marked by the appearance of reinforced concrete, Palermo’s panorama will be discussed in depth, together with its specific cultural features and some creations of religious buildings in which the use of reinforced concrete becomes more mature and aware. The new technology, in fact, at first hidden behind stone claddings, was progressively unveiled through an ever more aware use of its structural and aesthetic potentials. Specifically, out of the three structural categories identified through a systematic examination of all the religious buildings of the period, the focus will be placed on the one defined as “portal-type”. These churches represent the period of “transition” to be looked at more closely better than others, with their frequent mixing of traditional techniques and the “new” reinforced concrete technology. Even if their structures cannot yet be classed as framed structures insofar as often lacking in transversal links to the portals, the roofs of these buildings, all between 20 and 30 meters and characterized by sizeable spreads without any intermediate supports, represented a field of total experimentation for the leading architects of the time. These architects were receptive to the influences of much more daring experimentation at a national and European level.
